This is the new Volkswagen Passat! It may be more of a facelift rather than an all-new model, but this popular estate still brings with it a host of styling upgrades, some new engines and more interior equipment to play with. Sure it’s not the most exciting of cars out there, but with prices starting from around £27,000, is this the right estate for you? Join Mat and find out!

Mat as a long time Passat owner, I can tell you that “the system that brakes the inside wheel to make the car turn sharper” (called XDR btw) does really work a treat! Especially in the wet you can really feel the inner front wheel “working” to help you turn. I used to have a previous gen Passat without the system, and you can tell the difference, even if you’re not a trained professional tester. It’s not a Quaife mechanical lsd, of course, but for 200quid (that’s the price of the option for if it’s not included in your trim level) it’s really worth!!!!

@peglor 4 жыл бұрын

Absolutely wonderful to see a full size spare tyre in a modern car. At this point the first thing I do at the dealers to check whether a car might be worth buying is check the boot for a spare (Or at the very least room for a spare). My full sized spare tyre has allowed me to continue with my day with minimal delay way too many times to ever even consider buying a car without one.

@theduke1066 3 жыл бұрын

I had the GTE and was charging at home and work. I was filling up with petrol every 1500-2000 miles so averaged a very high MPG. This of course is dependent on how often you charge, how you drive etc, but it is easily possible to achieve 200+ mpg. Bear in mind you need to pay for the electric, but for many this might just be the best all round car available (along with the iV plus a few more). Basically, if a PHEV works for your travel, commute etc, then you will save money in the medium / long term. After 3 years and 40,000 miles I saw no degradation of the battery so a second hand GTE for £20k makes more sense than new. For those who haven’t yet, take the plunge! 🥸

Earlier digital displays, or on some other cars, the VAG cars had a 12.3" display, which is all digital! Cheers

Certainly not FWD that's for sure. I owned the pre-facelift version of this with 190bhp diesel and front wheel drive, no way would I have tried a fast 0-60 in that one. Too much torque overwhelmed the front tyres and just made lots of screeching wheel spin. I should have chosen a manual rather than the DSG I suppose so I could feather the clutch.

as an owner of a 2011 model (albeit in diesel) and this just seems like a cheaper cut price version, sure it looks more moden, but there are those nice little touches that are simply missing the little clock in in the dash, completely unneeded, but it looks lovely, and made for a nice feature for rear passengers to see the time in a stylish way (i wrote this before you got to that point) the rear seat armrest tho, seem the worse, gone is the nice clean looking design as you find in mine (with a neat little cup holder that folds away neatly into the armrest and in with a hard plastic void in the armrest, which frankly looks more like something you would expect in more work vehicle than a home/business machine

@irmenkop85 4 жыл бұрын

Well, overall the Passat is still a good car (I am driving one myself). However, the sales volumes are shrinking which makes this model way more expensive to produce for VW than 10-15 years ago. So the cost reduction measures are unmistakable throughout the entire car. The replacement of the clock with a simple badge is just the tip of the iceberg. In terms of entertainment and latest technology, the Passat is now overtaken by both the new Skoda Octavia Combi and the Golf Variant. The real only advantage a Passat still offers over these two cars is a) more quietness inside and b) more range with one tank. That's it. Unfortunetaly. The next Passat will either not exist anymore or just be the same Chassis as the Skoda Superb. Thanks to all SUV fanatacis buying dozens of meaningless cars, but no estates anymore.

@Drzeq 7 ай бұрын

You've actually forseen the future of the Passat with your last guess - the new gen is developed and built by Skoda together with the Superb. Also, it's an estate-only now, so the first prediction of it going extinct was partly true as well. Congrats!

Honestly this is the best look for a Passat for me. Suits it so well as opposed to the saloon.

@@amrani9949 true but there's plenty of nearly new examples for under 30k. A one year old car with around 8k miles probably around 25k. They are not as refined as the Passat though. Skimps on the insulation.

44k for a Passat....inflating those list prices so that when they turn round and say "here is a 5k discount" people think they are getting a great deal. Who pays 38k+ for a grey passat?

@kriskellas1856 4 жыл бұрын

I know some people cant see past the passat badge for the money but I really like it. You are getting alot of car for your money. I have one on order from VW. For me it is the perfect family car, looks good, good performance, nice big boot. I looked at the Golf R Estate and was very close to getting one. This Passat Estate has the same engine as the R (although detuned) same 4WD system, same DSG box. It comes pretty much fully loaded with optional extras as standard. Alot of which you dont get on the Golf R as standard. For example Dynaudio premium sound system, Pro Navigation, DCC Dynamic Chassis Control, Leather Interior...

I agree - it's just not worth the price. But that's what they do with all german and premium brands - they put a huge price tag and sell it with big discounts, I've seen BMWs and AUDIs go with discounts up to 25-30%% for a new car - which means they can cut quarter of a price and still make a profit.
